IMPRQVEMENT m SAD-IRON HOLDERS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 178,401, dated June 6,1876; application filed March 9, 1876.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, OLE BORRESON, of LaGrosse, in the county of La Orosse and State of WVisoonsin, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Flat-Iron Holders; and Ido hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exactdescription of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in theart to which it pertains to make and use it, reference being bad to theaccompany drawings, which form part of this specification.

My invention relates to an improved holder for fiat-irons; and itconsists in the arrangement and combination of parts, that will be morefully described hereinafter, whereby a simple, cheap, and effectiveholder is produeed.

The accompanying drawings represent my invention.

a represents a sheet of leather, cloth, canvas, or other suitablematerial, of any desired shape, size, or length, to which are secured,in any suitable manner, a number of strips of wood, 0, which areseparated from each other a suflicient distance to allow the part a tobe folded or closed tightly and freely together. Driven into the underside of one of these strips are two or more staples, d, through which ispassed one branch of the bent wire 6. This wire is bent, as shown, thebent end being fastened to one side of the guard; then one branch ispassed through a hole on the opposite side, and the end bent so as toform a hook, g, in which the end of the other branch catches. Byloosening the end out of the hook, the part a can be removed at will.Extending across over the top of the part a is the guard 0, lnade ofsheet metal or other suitable material, which binds the entiredevice tothe hand. The wood, being a non-conductor of heat, and beingsufficiently thick to keep a space between the handle and the part a sothat the air can circulate freely through, the hand is efl'ectuallyguarded from heat.

Having thus described my invention, I claim- The combination of thesheet a, strips 0, wire 6, and guard 0, substantially as set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand andseal this 26th day of February, 187 6.
